#31220 [NEW]: bloated localhost connection

From: bc at default dot co dot yu Operating system: Linux 2.4 PHP version: 4.3.10 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: bloated localhost connection Description: ------------ I'm using recent 4.3.10 release with mysql 4.1 client libs. I have a configuration of 2 servers. One is the MySQL database, another is apache 1.3 running PHP 4.3.10 through CGI/FastCGI interface. All scripts are using "localhost" value in mysql_connect() function. Actually that connection is being NAT'ed with iptables to MySQL server. When I do manual connect with telnet to localhost:3306 it works fine. Also if "localhost" is changed to "127.0.0.1" or direct IP of MySQL host ( 10.1.5.55 in this case ) it just works fine! *But* when is "localhost" in mysql_connect() it simply does NOT work! Reproduce code: --------------- I keep getting this: Access denied for user: 'username@10.1.5.89' (Using password: NO) keep in mind that I *am* providing the password: $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "$db_username", $db_password); this is my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain BTW, I've tried all the combinations: 127.0.0.1 localhost or: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31220&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31220&r=mysqlcfg
